Not receiving Santander OTPs - No issue with other text messages

I recently changed to ID mobile and since changing I've been trying to make payments through my bank and I've not been receiving the OTPs.

I've called up Santander and ran through a list of trying to get it to work with no avail. Finally they said the fault must lie with the network provider.

Has anybody else had issues with Santander OTPs on ID?

Well, I raised an issue with ID Support whom escalated it with engineering or something and it's now working. They did say they'd text me updates and haven't received anything from them so whether they did anything or whether it just started working.. who knows.

Hmmm, you may need to contact Santander over the phone to have this done instead.

Also, which phone are you using? If it is an iPhone, can you temporarily turn off iMessage and then have a OTP message sent to the phone to see if this helps? If not, and you are using an iPhone, reset your network settings within the Settings > General > Reset section of your phone. Please Note: This will remove your saved WiFi passwords.

Let me know how it goes.

Hey Ryan,

I've got an LG V30. It doesn't seem to have a similar feature, however I have rebooted the phone and disabled and reenabled networks. I have received texts from all of my other banks without an issue.

I can contact Santander to have the phone number switched to my girlfriends but obviously this is not desirable for the long term.

I've spoken with ID support who have logged a technical support ticket and told me they'll text me updates. Let's hope I can receive those!
